Must be one of a kind

Make time to spend an hour or two here while you're in Barcelona. It's a bit out of the way but not too bad if you take the bus. The monuments and massive mausoleums make it feel more like a miniature city then a cemetery....More

We took a guided tour and walked from the bottom with beautiful graves with gothic angels to the very top with modern burials. Learned a lot about history and culture. Recommended!

On Montjuic Hill, behind the Olympic Park, Gallery and fountains

Best seen from the seaward side, actually from the Ronda Litoral, mix of funerary monuments and mausoleums and holes in the wall for ossuaries. It's huge. It's solemn. It's actually quite fun to see the Spanish customs of death.

Monumental

A beautiful cementery built on a hill with truly monumental tombs. It is in a somewhat isolated area, although there is a direct bus from Sants train station to an avenue closeby (number 109). Be sure not to miss the Batllo and Amatller Pantheons.

The cemetry is a very interesting and special place to visit. We walked in from the side of the olympic village and wound our way through the many many stone walls, with rows of family plots, all with something different about them. At the top...More
